there needs to be a concerted effort to get everyone who can vote, out to vote, making it a priority to go to the advance polls just so there is no chance you miss voting.

i don't want to miss the satisfaction of punting her out!!!!!!!

I for one will be not be voting for the UCP. Kenney wants be be like Klein, and I don't believe that it will work. Klein cut all public sector jobs, and set this province back many years in education, infrastructure and health care. Klein pulled it off as we were in a very different economic state. I truly believe that Kenney cannot pull it off. As a municipal employee, the trickle down effect will crush this province.
He cannot get rid of the carbon tax. He can get rid of the provincial one that the province has some control over, but the federal one will just replace it and then we have no control.
He has said he is going to reverse all of the NDP changes to workers rights. Most of those things were years in the works by labour groups and industry, so that will not help anyone.
Why reverse the legislation for public service pensions? I have a board of trustees that are paid to manage my money that I put into my pension, why should I government (Finance Minister) have any say over the state of my money?
The leader was a failure in federal politics, so what makes him qualified for provincial?

^^^^^^NPD voter^^^^^^

Until someone can actually tell me how Kenney can change Alberta for the better, yup. I have yet to hear a solid plan come out of him. He might as well be Trump (I didn't say Mexico was going to just write us a cheque for the wall).

Change my mind.

How is my vote paid for with tax payer money exactly? Because Im a civil servant? If thats the case I hand you the keys to my house, truck, snowmobile, because yes, municipal tax payer do pay my salary. Along with road workers, nurses, teachers, water and utilities workers, sanitation workers, police officers, administrative assistants, military, police, doctors. I could go on.

Are you starring in a UCP commercial? I am actually not happy with the current situation Alberta is in, but I don’t understand how the UCP will change it. I have never heard a plan come from the UCP leadership. All I’ve heard is lip service, “make Alberta great again”.
And for the record, I have always been and voted conservative.

Your quote ,

You are a civil servant and that’s great ?
But don’t you think the above statement is a bit arrogant?
I have ????
Don’t you mean we the tax payer have ?

I believe recent polls had Kenny at 52-54%. Amazes me that not higher, he will easily clean up on seats though. Not a slam dunk, look at the idiots in Calgary that voted Nenshi in. And Edmonton in recent poll was 43% Ndp, 36 ucp.

fyi Ralph was a great premier, debt free and paid citizens dividends. I can’t think of much Notley suddenly has done better than he did, “alberta set back many years in education” what the heck does that mean? Suddenly alberta schools colleges and universities were putting out substandard grads? I don’t think so.
